So we are on board this airship crewed by a bunch of playful gnomes. A bucket filled with water fell on another character, another prank happened to someone else and my character got hot-footed during his sleep. Now, given my current surroundings, do you have any suggestions as to pranking them back?

Here's a few:
<Rough Winds>
{2X Length of Rope, 2X Block and Tackle, 2X Pulley, 1X Bed, 2X Windows or Doors}
Depending on the location of the targets bed in their room you will need 2 portals or open spaces for this trick, whilst the target is asleep tie the two lengths of rope to opposite sides of the bed, attach to appropriate pulleys/Tackles, start gently pulling the ropes opposite each other in tempo, 1,2,1,2,1,2. Should the target suffer from sea/air sickness this gentle rocking should stir the targets gut, otherwise proceed to heave the ropes too and fro like there's no tomorrow simulating turbulence.
<No Magic in the Privy>
{1X Toilet/Privy/Chamber Pot, 1X Mage capable of casting floating disk}
Have he mage cast floating disk between the target bodily functions and the Privy... This is akin to placing Cling Wrap over your toilet at home... ewww
<Kiss of Nature>
Add extract of poison oak to the targets shaving lather and to his/her razor, the fine hairs of the oak will cause irritation of the skin.
<Egg Bucket>
Water in a bucket is all well and good for these Gnomes, but its time to up the ante, Take 3-4 eggs and place them in a seal-able jar with Vinegar or Brine, leave for as long as possible, trust me it gets better with age, open jar, remove eggs with tongs, and place this new liquid in a bucket and repeat the water bucket prank, this stuff smells terrible, will stain cloths, bleach hair, strip paint and will not wash out with ease.
<SLAP!>
Have an unseen servant slap the target in the face at random intervals throughout their day or whilst sleeping.
I realize some of these pranks are childish, but they are Gnomes, if these suit your needs then all is well however if you require a more sophisticated prank befitting the setting then please let me know.
{Also a more detail description would help with the writing, Details such as: Class, Items/Resources, Target and Setting may be very helpful.} The most fun pranks are usually available to illusionists.
Get yourself a Hat of Disguise and completely ruin their day.

You're right, some details might be needed here.
Currently we are on the ground searching for something, but we will doubtlessly board the airship at least one more time for a trip lasting anywhere between 2days to a week +.
This is a custom setting: here, gnomes have access to a mix of technology and arcane magic beyond that of the rest of the world, as the rest of the world is domineered by an empire who believes that arcane magic is devil-magic. The gnomes also have access to guns and gunpowder. So I would imagine that we can find on board our ship anything that would be gun-related or ship-related. Oh and the airship is held aloft by a big bladder of gas. Should I mention the ship's name is the Hindenburg?
My character is Rogue (Scout) 3 / Fighter (Weapon Master) 2 and has the following miscellaneous items:
-Silk Rope
-Waterskins
-A lot of marbles
-Calthrops
-2 Smoke arrows
-A winter blanket
-Manacles
-Quite a few cigars
-A spare weapon cord
-A flask of Alkali chemicals.
Let me know if you need me to mention weapons and armor.
-MW Thieves tools
Ah yes Cigars, who doesnt enjoy the rich flavor of Tobacco.
Are these Gnomes the smoking type, perhaps they would like one, wedge a small charge of gunpowder within the Cigar, after a few puffs the thing will explode causing a fright and no damage to the participant.
Although I guess my main concern is, define Prank. I mean do you want a laugh or are you trying to send these Gnomes the message, dont screw with me?
Although having just started walking away from my computer I thought of something.
Knock 2 of these Gnomes out, preferably both male and of a brash nature, you can do this by many means, but currently your best one is the have them in a confined space with smoke arrows, to much smoke in ones lungs [as fire safety should have taught you] causes you to fall unconscious from lack of oxygen. Next remove their cloths and tie them loosely to a bed with the silk rope and manacles. After this deed is done inform the Captain or the patrolmen that you heard a struggle coming from the room, the crew will enter to find the couple in what looks like a saucy embrace, want to make it a bit more real, smearing some lard from the cooks kitchen lightly around the room will give the room that hot a sweaty smell, your winter blanket could also be draped on the pair to raise their body temperature whilst they nap causing them to sweat.
Fraid that all Ive got for now, pranks are mainly situational, so its hard to scheme them on the fly.
